Quite benign: Unlikely this occurred due to trauma, as you have likely had this from birth. A minor vascular anomaly, and rare that it causes any complications.

Venous Angioma: A venous angioma, also referred to as a "venous malformation" is a variation of veins draining normal brain tissue in that region. However, it should be noted that some studies have found veins that comprise a venous angioma have structural abnormalities compared with more normal veins. Regardless, most neurosurgeons regard venous angiomas as variations of normal venous drainage.
